First say that android is very different from Windows on your computer, then untie the virus idea on Android that you have on your PC, this because a big difference in how the two operating systems work, the windows a virus can be in any application or in any file and has a very wide spread of power since they can propagate themselves because they autoexecutam already in android you just pull up viruses if you install an APK application done with viruses, then the android you do not have to get infected e-mail, browsing the internet and USB stick, and even if you can install a malicious app on android, which he can do is very little compared to what a PC virus can cause on your computer this because the applications installed on the Android permissions are limited. The android is much more seguro.Vírus can be done to any operating system the difference is how the system is safe, the way in which the system works is also very importante.Google Playa google store is the safest place for you to download applications, one of the store security pillars is Bauncer, it is an antivirus that scanneia the store servers behind maliciosos.Mas applications store is not inviolable virus, more google works very fast time to remove some malicious application apareça.Então that if you only download apps google play by your device already well seguro.Baixando other fontesPara download applications from sources other applications first you have to enable it in the settings (by default it is not allowed for security Question) so is at your own risk, and even if you download an application from outside the google play that is not sure to catch viruses, but be careful! I myself see no need to download from outside the google play applications, this because it’s all very cheap, not to mention that much that is graça.Recursos of Bauncer antivirus SegurançaAlém that scans the Google Play servers, also has other safety features in the Android operating system. One such feature is the Sandbox that makes it impossible for an application installed interfere with each other, creating a barrier between each application to kernel level, preventing a virus attack or spread by files and other applications on the system, communication between applications is possible only if the application to open a specific communication channel (one permissions), for example this makes it impossible for a serious keylogger what you’re writing to your browser, this keylogger method is often used to steal credit card numbers on windows computers, and sandbox prevents this and many other attacks happen on your device android.E the largest android security feature is the Root, by default in android neither you nor the applications, let alone the virus has access to change the system , the system is completely blocked this prevents something go damages it, the only way to change the system is giving permission Root, why I said that the android is much more secure than your PC with windows, since it is very common processes formatting because the windows was damaged by a virus, a situation that has no way happen in android, this is the android protecting you from yourself. (mistake not to root in android with route the device, route is to share your internet 3G by Wifi , something very simple and common) of course you can give permission Root for certain applications, but this is something you need to know to do, and have to make sure what you do. (Being very difficult for a common user% u201Cleigo% u201D able to give root access to something unintentionally or unknowingly) and recently Google has implemented an integrated antivirus to android 4.2, giving you more security when installing an outside google app play and the best, this virus is activated only at the time of installation of an application and is on stand-by in the rest of the time (right behavior and recommended an antivirus for android), thus the system is not slow because of the antivirus , very common situation in computadores.Entendendo because the iPhone and iPad are safer than AndroidSabendo viruses are malicious applications that need to be installed (in the case of Android and IOS), the apple of devices you only have one source of where to download applications APP Store, different from Android it does not have the ability to download applications from elsewhere (if so you configure), this makes the system more secure, you can only use applications that apple enabled and tested, so I always talk the safest place to download applications is the official store, google play, because despite not having as many checks as the apple store is even better than downloading from unknown locations! This is very good for security, plus has one side bad for the use of the system, an example is a company I know that your salespeople use smartphones android to register sales in the external environment, in case the company itself installs the application on your smartphone without the intermediary of google, if the Iphone the company would have to submit this application for Apple analyze and make available more generally companies do not want this bureaucracy, nor want their internal applications are available in any store online.Nos devices of apple you get safely lose more free, since the android chances are much greater! This way of working IOS works like those of Video Game Consoles, all games are controlled by the manufacturer, so not to get viruses, unless you make a jailbreak (unlock ). Making jailbreak on Apple’s devices you unlock the device to install applications from other unofficial sources, but then you gain in freedom and loses safely, even more so it is very difficult to be infected by some vírus.Entendendo because Android is safer Windows and the differences between viruses for Android and WindowsNo Windows a virus or needs to be installed to operate, you just download a file with a virus for it to be autoexecutado, this autorun is a major security problem, since a virus can enter running and do whatever it wants, as the android does not happen, does not like a virus to be in any file, the only way to get virus is installing an application in APK format, and the APK file needs to be installed and then installed it can only do what the permissions android leave (very limiting the actions that a virus can installed) .In Windows is common for flash drives are infected by viruses without you knowing and you just open this flash drive on another PC for it spread, and worse, they are all hidden. This does not have to happen in the Android APK files since they do not themselves perform, this autorun which makes them stick virus so boring in windows does not exist in Android.No Windows has nothing like the Android sandbox that protects each application, and another problem is that most people use the Windows administrator user, which is equivalent to user Root android, which by default on Android you can not use! SegurançaInstale end tips only apps from Google Play, everything is very cheap without tell that many applications are gratuitos.Evite to Root on your android, unless you have a real need for it, and learn what this fazendo.Só these two tips provide you the highest security levels on your android.
